I'm an immigrant, and I'm an anarcho-capitalist, so even most Libertarians are too statist for me, and I'm rather outside of American socio-political groups.

But you know what I'd like to see?

Just once, I'd like a "liberal" to explain what Trump has actually done to hurt them.

It goes like this:

Me: Trump's made some bad choices, like Sessions, but on the whole, he's been no worse than anyone else. What are you so bent out of shape about your need to riot or endorse rioting?

Liberal: RUSSIAN COLLUSION!

Me: No evidence exists of that. Mueller's spent two years and found nothing. All the leaks were from Hillary's end. What has Trump done to hurt you?

Liberal: RACIST IMMIGRATION POLICIES!

Me: 0bama had a higher deportation rate than Trump. And you're not an illegal immigrant. What has he done to hurt you?

Liberal: VOTER SUPPRESSION!

Me: Those are state level laws, and have near unanimous SCOTUS endorsement, therefore they're Constitutional. They started under 0bama. What has Trump done to hurt you?

NPC: NAZI!

Me: He's the first president to recognize Israel's capital, has 14 Jewish cabinet heads, a Jewish daughter and son in law, and Jewish grandkids. He is not any kind of socialist. Therefore, he cannot possibly be a Nazi, and has done nothing remotely resembling what the Nazis did. WHAT HAS HE DONE TO HURT YOU?

NPC: HE'S DESTROYING THE GOVERNMENT!

Me: He's cut back red tape that meant more generic prescription medications became available, cheaper, and your pharmacist is allowed to tell you about those options. Even Sessions is backing off on opposing state level "medical marijuana" statutes.

This is the same government you claim is murdering minorities, and has a SWAT team to collect on arrears student loans.

It's the same government that was trying to demand CDLs for taxi drivers and couriers, threatening your precious gig economy. How has him reducing its scope hurt you?

NPC: BOOOOOOOSH!

Me: You got off script there, dumbass.

NPC: RRRAAAAAACCIIIISSST!

Me: Against whom?

NPC: MUSLIM BAN!

Me: The list of 6 nations with restricted immigration does not include the 6 most populous Muslim nations. It does not include 210 nations Muslims live in. It does not allow anyone--even atheists and Christians--from those 6 nations to enter the US, without additional scrutiny on a case by case basis. It's based on the fact those 6 nations cannot even confirm their own passports are real. SCOTUS upheld the authority unanimously. Muslims enter this nation every day, and live here unmolested, even when they make vile anti-semitic comments and file civil cases to be allowed to butcher their female children's genitalia. And you're not Muslim. Name a single thing Trump has done to hurt you.

NPC: MIGRANT CONVOY!

Me: It's in Mexico. Further, as you admit, they're migrants, not "refugees" under the definition created by your precious UN. Therefore, they can't even reasonably ask for asylum, and Mexico is under no obligation to take them. Nor are we. Nor is Canada. By the way, BOTH of those nations have stricter laws of entry than the US. Under what strange logical chain are Central American migrants in Mexico a Trump issue, unless and until they get here, where they will be treated according to the same established laws 0bama treated them according to? WHAT THE FUCK HAS TRUMP ACTUALLY DONE TO HURT YOU?

NPC: RESISSSSSSST!

Comments below. Can a single one of you Demorrhoid NPCs name a single thing Donald Trump has done that hurts you?

(This early referenced "George W. Trump" as a satirical reference to that senile hag Pelosi, who can't seem to remember what his name is.)

Comments

Oh, and after the NPC claims he is a nazi, and then you point out that he is pro-Jewish and pro-Israel, then they accuse him of being a Jewish sympathizer. You can't be an anti-Semite and a Jew sympathizer.

Plus the irony of their playing the race card is palpable. I am a person of color, and a staunch conservative. So I have been called, on more than one occasion an Uncle Tom, a house nigger, a disgrace to my race, specifically because I did not vote for obama. I looked at him and said "I didn't not vote for him because his skin is black, I didn't vote for him because his soul is."

The only time a person of color is accepted is when they are toeing the liberal line. And I have every intention of kicking them in their liberal spuds on Tuesday.

How about his complete and utter failure (even more, a complete and utter failure to even TRY) to push the Congress-critters to repeal the socialist pile of Obamacare, which was the sole reason for which many people voted for him?

This has directly injured me, since I am not allowed by the PPACA to purchase actual health insurance, but am required (by tax law) to buy one of the pre-paid health care plans since I am now retired and not covered by an employer's pre-paid health care plan. Massively expensive, covers all kinds of garbage I neither need nor want. This nonsense about covering “pre-existing conditions” is exactly like trying to buy house insurance the day after a fire has burned down your house. Of course no one is going to cover a condition you’ve already got; it puts you into a much higher expenditure group.

I don’t expect my car insurance to cover oil changes and brake jobs; I’d like to buy health insurance (actual insurance) that would work the same way; that would have a high deductible (say, $10,000/year for each person) but would kick in to cover a catastrophic “accident” type illness (cancer and the ilk). I can negotiate with a doctor on my own for prices on routine examinations and tests. Under Obamacare insurance companies are simply not allowed to sell these types of policies.

So I get to pay sky-high premiums in order to cover other people who expect to get aromatherapy and chiropractic nonsense with low co-pays, while I’m stuck with the full freight of a crappy “insurance” that still has relatively low limits on lifetime catastrophic health problems.

How about pressing Congress to de-regulate the insurance industry so that I can get policy offers from companies outside of my state?

But then that would be expecting the bloviating sales-twit to actually support things like freed-markets, and from a Kelo-loving statist authoritarian like Trump that’s just a bit too much.

About the only positive thing I can say is that he’s marginally better than his former opponent, Felonia VonPantsuit. She’d have dragged us even further into the collectivist hellhole that Obama pulled us into.
